[quote=Anonymous]My kids aren't at that stage yet, but I married at 23 and was pregnant in grad school at 25. It was difficult because my baby was a micropreemie and needed a lot of care. I gave up on a career, despite having a graduate degree, to do all the therapies and care that he needed. Thanks to attentive parenting and lots of services and accommodations, he is now in college, but it was a long and arduous road. I do not regret sacrificing my professional development to raise my first born! But it certainly changed the course of my life. Despite my own situation as a stay-at-home mother, in general it's not ideal for future earning potential to skip earning a college degree. I would advise that the baby be raised by the grandparents so the parent can still attend college. Is that a possibility in the situation you're describing? I would be happy to do that for my children, if they had a child early in life. [/quote]
